As the City by the Bay receives its share of the Golden State's sunlight, up north, residents of Seattle, Washington are looking at a sky that's a shade grayer lately. The National Weather Service of Seattle reports a 20 percent chance of showers later this afternoon with cloudy skies prevailing. The temperature is expected to sit comfortably at 72 degrees, but there's little to no wind to sweep away the clouds gathering over the Space Needle.

The city will experience a slight uptick in the chance of rain this evening, sitting at 30 percent, particularly between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. As the night unfolds, the clouds will linger with the temperature dipping down to a low of around 60. The serene breeze from the north-northwest will calm as dusk falls.

Looking ahead to Sunday, there is little reprieve from the scattered showers, as the chances remain pegged at 30 percent. The forecast indicates mostly cloudy skies with a slightly warmer high near 74 degrees. Those venturing out into Puget Sound might feel a gentle southeastern wind pushing against waves and city flags alike.

Come Sunday night, the clouds decide to stay but, the winds will shift, taking on a northwestern direction before turning east-northeast in the evening. The metropolitan area will be wrapping up the weekend with mild temperatures, as the nighttime low hovers around 58 degrees. For those anticipating clearer skies, Monday seems promising with partly sunny conditions and a high near this pattern persists, Seattleites may well enjoy something akin to the famous California sunshine by the time Independence Day fireworks paint their stories across the night sky.
